..the meeting in čardak was to cross our experiences, research and engagement of migration and impermanence – Servet, Karla, Armina with Armin, Aigul, Zaher and Matej that was on:

1 — inter-media displays between video projections showing servets’ video ‘watchtower’ (Ankara 2015), Karla video on migrations paths from Rijeka since world wars until today (Rijeka 2019) and stone commemoration from 1970ties on the victims of fascism from the WWII who were also workers of the train station in rijeka in that historical time..

2 —- silent and bit louder telling of the experiences from Zaher and Servet about being born as a refugee in Iran from Afghan parents and Sirnak the Kurdish city in Turkey — many of us do not even know where these places actually are on the map or in the cosmos — far but close

3 — reading the poem ‘Putovi/Paths’ of Mak Dizdar, bosnian/yugoslavian poet — our translation of some significant parts for us of the one verse, the parts and paths that we crossed with our bodies
